Show HN: My first iOS app, WriteDown - a Markdown text editor

6 pointsby vinhnxalmost 12 years ago
Hello everyone,<p>I taught myself Objective-C late last year, and relentlessly working my first, real, production app since then. My app has been approved for sale last week, it is now on version 1.1, but I still very excited day by day since the launch day. :)<p>About WriteDown, it is a Markdown down editor specifically for the iPhone. You can write your text in Markdown or just plain text.<p>Syncing: It support Dropbox syncing. Optionally, you can upload your pieces of writing to Google Drive or Evernote as well, so you can keep it in your favorite Cloud service(s).<p>You can email them to yourself, or to your family member, or your colleagues. It is a .writedown binary file that includes all your current note(s) so that you can restore and or add it to current note list in the app.<p>Ofcourse there are many many features, to learn more, visit its landing page [1] or the iTunes link.<p><i>Important Note</i>: WriteDown is <i>NOT iOS 7 compatible</i> at the moment, but I&#x27;m working on this. Works well on iOS 6.x<p>Check it out here: https:&#x2F;&#x2F;itunes.apple.com&#x2F;us&#x2F;app&#x2F;writedown-markdown-text-editor&#x2F;id670733152?ls=1&amp;mt=8<p>Let me know If you have any question. Thank you!<p>###<p>[1] Landing page: http:&#x2F;&#x2F;vinhnx.github.io&#x2F;writedown-site&#x2F;<p>PROMO CODE<p>I&#x27;m giving away a few copies to you, so here are 5 promo code you can redeem to install. Feel free to let me know if you have used one of them so that I can delete it :)<p>4TL7RNEHH9TM<p>W3XX9HMEFML9<p>NTWHNY9YFJP4<p>YPRKPEKP6WFT<p>LKX7HN7A396X

I like the colours and the general &quot;look&quot; of the app. I don&#x27;t like how cluttered it is though. It seems like you&#x27;ve put in a lot of gestures and funky little tweaks just for the sake of it. You have instructions on every view in there it seems - I couldn&#x27;t write anything for the first couple of minutes, and by the time I could, I had forgotten what the first instructions were.<p>There was also something where I made a note, went back to the list, and tried to edit it again and couldn&#x27;t. The little pencil icon was hidden. Seemed like clicking the table cell edit icon, as well as the main portion of the cell, takes you just to the &quot;view&#x2F;share note screen&quot;. Feels like a bug to me. I would&#x27;ve preferred the table cell edit icon to go to the edit view and then immediately edit the note.<p>Is being able to change the screen brightness really necessary when looking at a note...?<p>I&#x27;m not that familiar with markdown - what is reading time? Is it literally just how long you think it would take to read?<p>When creating a note, I wanted to cancel, but instead I had to click the tick to save the note. I then went to &quot;pull down&quot; - not knowing what the gesture would do - and it created another new note, but not allowing the same title. To me, pull down refreshes. Maybe I&#x27;m stuck in my ways and it&#x27;s now a gesture for many different things. Still, it&#x27;d be nice to be able to cancel out of the new note screen, or to even delete the note if no content has been added?
